AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnitude of the magnetic field affecting a wire loop with a current. The user derives the relationship between torque, angular acceleration, and the magnetic field using equations of motion and electromagnetic principles. They conclude that the magnetic field can be expressed as B = 4*m/I*T^2, assuming initial angular velocity is zero. The user seeks confirmation of this solution from others in the forum. The accuracy of the derived formula and the assumptions made are the main focus of the discussion.

Homework Statement


A wire loop, of mass "m" and radius "r"; in the x-y plane with a current "I" flowing through it in the clockwise direction is in a magnetic field. The field "B" is pointing along the x-axis. The magnetic field will exert a torque on the wire, causing the loop to rotate with a frequency "f".
What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

Homework Equations


torque = IA x B = I(pi)r^2 x B
torque = r x F = r x (ma) = r x (m(r*alpha))
theta(final)=theta(initial)+omega(initial)*t+(1/2)(alpha)t^2

The Attempt at a Solution



Assuming that the initial angular velocity is zero.
A full revolution -> theta(final)=2*pi
time for a full revolution (period) -> T=1/f

angular acceleration -> alpha = 2*(2*pi)/T^2

torque = rF = r(ma) = r*m(r*alpha) = r^2*m*(4*pi/T^2)

torque = I*A*B = I*pi*r^2*B

r^2*m*4*pi/T^2 = I*pi*r^2*B

B = 4*m/I*T^2

Sorry to bump... but ... can anyone confirm this?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
